FWIW, on a best-effort "garbage in / garbage out" basis, Postfix by
default folds long body lines in messages by inserting CRLF + SPACE.

http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#smtp_line_length_limit

If the incoming message is not RFC-compliant, it may be modified
in transit, in a way that minimizes damage to already poorly
formed message.
